Royal Portable from 1928

This Royal portable was greased and came with a generous coating of white out particles. You know, the kind from those oh so convenient white and black ribbons (the bane of every repairman). That stuff gets stuck everywhere! A good cleaning, some minor adjustments and away we go!

What it really needed was new shoes, and by that I mean rubber feet. The feet fell apart in my hands! Since there are none available I made them from various hardware store rubber bumpers.
